Furutech / Air Tight LP Flattener - do they work?

Downunder,I am having a hard time understanding the "total" pricing.Is it 785 plus 240 to ship to the U.S.?
Thanks

Speedy

Yes, If you are talking about the ebay listing. I asked and 17kg shipping is quite expensive - hence the $240 shipping. Don't forget you will need a step down transformer to bring the US 120 vlts down to Japan 100 vlts. the same4 vendor sells them or buy them in the USA.

I am buying mine newer (more expensive model) direct from JAT in Japan from whom I have bought a couple of cartridges in the past. I have confidence in this guy. If anyone wants to buy from this guy, let me know and I will email the details

cheers

My DF-02 was delivered yesterday.

Unpacked it, put my warped/dished "Wolfmother" LP into the unit.

You can select 60, 90, 120 or 150 minutes heating time. the Wolfmother LP is about 150gm's, so I selected 90 minutes and closed the lid.

The LED display counts down, then automatically goes to 2 hours for cooling.

Took the LP out, put it back on the platter and guess what - no real difference - still warped - damm.

Put the LP back into the DF-02 and selected 2 hours and went to bed.

Got up this morning and put it on the platter - the LP is now nice and flat and plays fine.

So far so good and excellent to have the choice of how long to heat for. I'll report back after I have done 10 or so LP's.

cheers

Excellent! It's just as well you had the initial experience so you have some gage of what it might require.

Yea, I was going to start off with 60 minutes, but the vinyl is closer to 180gm's than 120gm's so 90 minutes was the better start off choice. WE don't want to over cook these vinyl pizza's do we :-))

I'll find some skinny 120gm vinyl and see how 60 or 90 minutes heating goes.

the unit is supposed to be able to do LP's with no groove guard. Are they the classic 200gm vinyl only??

cheers
